Derek's 1st Word & Super Bowl Weekend

Before I get started on what we did this weekend, let me fill you guys in on Derek's first word: MOM. On Friday at around 6 PM, Erica, Derek and I were lying with him on the bed and while he was playing in his baby gym, he said the "mom." This was a very clear mom and not a babbling, mumbling version. We are looking forward to more words, including the word Dad/Daddy!


This weekend was Derek's first Super Bowl. Let me recap you guys on what we were up to this weekend. On Saturday, we woke up to our little boy lying on his tummy, talking in his crib. We're not sure how long he was awake but this was the first time that we saw him with his head up in his bed. He is usually on his back, kicking his legs around and staring at his mobile.
After we finally got out of bed, we took a stroll around our complex and across the street. We hit up Starbucks and headed inside Lowe's. After a couple of hours of walking, we headed back to the apartment for a quick rest and then went out for a quick trip to Otay Ranch & Eastlake in Chula Vista. We drove around the area and then stopped by Trader Joe's and Pat & Oscars for lunch/dinner. At Trader's, we bought some salad, bannanas and wasabi peas and at Oscar's, we got a chicken ceasar sandwich and some potato wedges. Afterwards, we headed home and ended the evening by watching Lakeview Terrace. That's a pretty interesting movie.

On Super Bowl Sunday, we started the day by heading to Ross to by a present for Erica's mom. After that, we went to Target where we got some really good deals on some storage ottomans. We got there at the right time because as soon we checked out, they were all sold out. The next stop was Vons, where we picked up our Super Bowl food (California Pizza Kitchen pizzas for half off!), some Vons Eating Rights and a few other groceries. We then headed home to watch the game. As for Derek's Super Bowl experience, he spent a good amount of time in his Excersaucer, baby gym and napping with mommy. The Steelers ended up winning the game 27-23 and towards the end of the game, Derek woke up from his 1 hour 45 minute sleep. I picked up Erica's mom from the Amtrak station and after Derek was out for the night, I took a jog. It was another chill weekend with the Sison-Buenaventura's.
